Kaun Kahta Hai Ki Mar Jaane Se Kuchh Hasil Nahin

kaun kahta hai ki mar jaane se kuchh hasil nahin

zindagi us ki hai mar jaana jise mushkil nahin

han ye sara khel parwanon ki jaan-bazi ka hai

sham-e-raushan par madar-e-girya-e-mahfil nahin

aam hi karna paDega un ko faiz-e-iltifat

ghair hargiz iltifat-e-KHas ke qabil nahin

muntaKHab main hi hua mashq-e-taghaful ke liye

wo taghaful-kesh meri yaad se ghafil nahin

halqa-e-girdab hai gahwara-e-ishrat mujhe

zauq-e-asaish mera minnat-kash-e-sahil nahin

dekhiye kya ho hamare shauq-e-manzil ka maal

panw mein taqat ba-qadr-e-duri-e-manzil nahin

lakh dil qurban us chashm-e-nadamat-kesh par

yani mujh ko aarzu-e-KHun-baha-e-dil nahin

marja-e-barq-e-bala hai ai 'wafa' duniya-e-ishq

hasil-e-hasrat yahan juz hasrat-e-hasil nahin
